Bahrain's Dragon City 'on target' with construction, says developer

Bahrain-based developer Diyar Al Muharraq has announced the completion of the foundation construction of key parts of its Dragon City project in the Gulf kingdom.

More than 20 percent of the total construction work needed on the project, is now complete, according to builder Nass Contracting.

Dragon Mall and the Dining Street is scheduled to be completed in June 2015, a statement said.

Dr Maher Al Shaer, CEO of Diyar Al Muharraq, said: "We are immensely pleased to be on target with the foundations of both the Mall and the Dining Street. We are all about precision and promptness and with Nass Contracting working meticulously to complete the Dragon City project, we are well within achieving our completion date."

Dragon City is a 115,000 square metre development set in the southwest corner of Diyar Al Muharraq city.

The Mall design is infused with Chinese architectural and cultural aspects, in a layout which incorporates 750 retail store spaces and a 4,500 sq m area designated for warehouses.
